Back in the saddle again

So I've been reminded by a few friends that I've not updated my blog for awhile. So I am taking a few minutes to ME time to do just that.

Airen has been in kindergarten for a month. He's doing wonderful. He really likes his teacher and he is making some friends. We have our first birthday party of the school year next weekend. Its at PumpIt up! Its an inflatable place with all sorts of play areas. I will be attending also for the ''just in case moments". I am excited to go and hopefully meet some other parents. Airen is continuing his home therapies, occupational, speech and music. His therapists are adding new goals to challenge him and hopefully work new areas. He's been having music as school and is coming home with new songs. Today it was "This land is your land, this land is my land..." It was so cute. He had hand motions and all. His teacher also does a lot of teaching to songs. We are still waiting for the school district to get an occupational therapist hired for school therapy. Airen has also decided he wants to get hot lunch from school. I am glad he's finally opening up to more food choices. We also go to school in the mornings and have breakfast there. All in all he is doing very well.

Mara is now 15 months old. She's still my little drama queen. She throws some really great tantrums!! She is still a peanut weighing about 18 lbs. She is such a picky eater. This week she had a toasted cheese sandwich that she stole from her brother's plate. At this rate if she eats it I am all for it. Her vocabulary is growing. Her favorite is ELMO and finally is saying ELMO not MELMO. She is funny cause we have one DVD of ELMO and she will go into the den on her pink chair and sit waiting for us to put it on for her. She grabs her ELMO dolls and points to the TV over and over again yelling ELMO!!! She's too cute. She sees pictures of dogs and says ''ruff ruff''. She's too cute. She also calls AIREN all day while he is at school. She misses him so much. When we go to pick him up in the afternoon she sits in the car waiting and calling AIREN. When he finally gets into the car she is blowing him kisses.

Doug is enjoying the Lego store. Currently we are building the Taj Mahal, it is 5922 pieces!! Its been fun to build the last few days. Doug's schedule is nice because he's usually up in the mornings with us and helping to get kids dressed and ready to walk out the door.
